Ammi Visnaga

Ammi visnaga, now often called Visnaga daucoides, is a robust annual with finely cut foliage and large domed umbels that open greenish white before maturing to ivory. The stiff radiating flower stalks create a denser, more architectural head than Ammi majus and remain attractive as seed structures for drying. Its common name, toothpick plant, recalls the traditional use of the hardened rays around the Mediterranean and Middle East. Excellent for bouquets and naturalistic borders, it also draws a remarkable range of pollinating and predatory insects, adding both elegance and ecological value.
